... and a large number of other US newspapers. I spoke to the following officials (their titles correspond to the positions they occupied at the time of the Liberty incident) and they all told me that the Israeli attack was deliberate, not an accident: Secretary of State Dean Rusk Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Thomas Moorer CIA Director Richard Helms NSA Deputy Director Louis Tordella. I am no authority on conspiracy theories, but there seem to be three possibilities here. A) Rusk, Moorer, Helms and Tordella were all propagators of a conspiracy theory. B) They were all dupes of a conspiracy theory. C) There is no valid conspiracy theory. I am retired now ...

... is aware of this but understates it.) The state knew it was going on but did nothing; too many state factions were using him. Moran then gives us an account of the 'D-notice affair' of 1967, in which Pincher played a part, which is inadequate: a large element in it, involving the America NSA, the real subject matter, is backgrounded; and he underplays the extent to which some of the participants in the drama, notably Pincher and D-notice Committee secretary Lohan, were motivated by hatred of the Labour government.
